The 27 Club—also occasionally known as the Forever 27 Club, Club 27 or the Curse of 27—is a meme regarding popular musicians who all died at the age of 27. Their names are synonymous trademarks of the "rock and roll" lifestyle.
Musicians who died at age 27, such as blues singer and musician Robert Johnson,Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse, have contributed to this concept of the notional club.
A study published in the British Medical Journal in December 2011 concluded that the occurrence of famous musicians dying at the age of 27 was coincidental, and the risk of death from their lifestyle was increased, but not limited to the age of 27. (cit. Wikipedia)
